Doctors call on Trump to handover critical virus data

US doctors and nurses are urging the Trump administration to share critical COVID-19 data with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team to avoid unnecessary delays in tackling the pandemic as infections and hospitalisations skyrocket.
In a letter published on Tuesday, members of several medical associations made the plea for co-operation.
The move comes a day after Biden warned that “more people may die” if outgoing President Donald Trump continues to block a smooth transition following his defeat in the 3 November presidential election.
Health officials have warned that the winter may usher in a new wave of COVID-19 deaths with community spread rampaging across the country and hospitalisations at record levels.
